Hiring a Band? What you need to know!

Looking to hire a band for your next event? Here are some things that I learned.

6 things you need to know if you’re going to hire a band.

#1Don’t assume ANYTHING!

#2Do you need to provide the equipment? Or will the band be bringing everything in?

#3Does the band have a rider? (What’s a rider – it’s the bands requirements, as an example if they have to have green m&m’s before every set – you need to make sure they have green m&m’s.)

#4If the venue provides “sound,” make sure they provide it even if they aren’t booking the talent. There might be additional fees. Get everything in your contract.

#5If you need to provide the sound, the venue should give you the requirements. Make sure you have a sound tech as well, especially during the sound check.

#6If the band is familiar with the venue and has played there often, don’t assume everything will be the same. Make sure you ask question #4 and #5. If you don’t – you might just have an acoustic performance vs. a rock out jammin’ performance. You don’t want any surprises the night before your event.
